A tribute for My uncle Jamie

I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. Too many people are affected by this, so it’s important we all come together collectively to raise awareness and help support those in need. I miss my uncle Jamie who lost his life to suicide. Gone too soon jungle. I’m also walking for my mother who is the strongest person I know but quietly struggles with her own self battles, and my late Grandma Mor mor who suffered with mental illness throughout her life, but never failed to shine in the quietest of rooms. Finally I walk for my partner, his mother is going through struggles with her mental health at the moment, and was what encouraged us to do this walk in the first place. A topic of conversation that we should not shy away from. Sending love to all those who have daily struggles with their own minds.

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness each year?

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute to put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.
